Office for Mac 2011 is built to keep up with you and your work. Across the suite, applications launch faster and are ready to get to work when you are. Reorder Objects enables the rearrangement of layers of graphics in Word or PowerPoint with a stunning interactive interface. Full-Screen View in Word allows you to focus on your work, and easy-to-build visuals and graphics underscore ideas and data to make your reports and presentations pop. And you can rely on your documents looking and behaving as you designed them—whether they are viewed on a Mac or a PC. Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011 does not include Outlook for Mac 2011.

Performance Improvements: Faster, smoother, better. Office for Mac 2011 gives you an enhanced user experience overall, as performance and launch times have been improved in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Your documents feel “lighter,” since they load fast, and respond quickly to your commands. And searching text within documents has never been faster.

Reorder Objects: Move objects and data around, and through, your documents. Word and PowerPoint give you the ability to create rich documents, by layering text, shapes, pictures, SmartArt, animations, and charts. With Office for Mac 2011, you can now easily reorder all these elements with a stunningly simple visual interface that make the management of your sophisticated designs not so complex.

Word Full-Screen View: Let your content be front and center. Now you can tailor your use of Word depending on whether you want to write your document, or read it. Full-Screen View gives you a limited user-interface and blocks interruptions from email and instant messages, helping you to keep your focus on your content.

Excel: Smarter, sharper ways to visualize and present your data. In Excel 2011, Sparklines give you the ability to easily create charts and graphs that quickly summarize your data. With Sparklines, also available in Windows-based Office 2010, you can see—and show—the story your data is telling, in a compact space. And Excel 2011 PivotTables are easily manipulated and highly compatible with the Windows version—making working with your data even easier and more intuitive.

Photo Editing: Give your projects more visual impact. Edit images from within Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. Recolor photos and images, apply filters and corrections, and even remove extraneous background imagery, right from the application itself. There’s no need to leave the Office applications to create visuals that impress.

Compatibility: You look more professional when you’re compatible. Office for Mac 2011 delivers reliable compatibility between Mac- and Windows-based computers, ensuring that your work looks the way you intended when it’s opened by teachers, your boss, or your customers. Shared tools and file formats between Office for Mac and Windows-based Office mean that your polished reports, presentations, and spreadsheets look and behave just as you designed them.

Rating: 3/5Improved after recent update.

This review is from: Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011 Family Pack

Pros: This is as close to MS Office for Windows as you can get on a Mac. Excel is the highlight of the suite. All of features feel familiar and work well. Word is intuitive and friendly to use. Some of the differences between this version and Windows are easy to maneuver and learn.

Cons: There are still some incompatibilities between this and Windows version. For example, I wrote a lengthy report using Cambria font and sent it to myself and opened it with gmail at work. I was running close to the deadline, so I just attached it and sent it to a windows user. I later found out that some of the characters didn't make it, including some apostrophes.

Other Thoughts: It's wise to double check your document in a Windows version if the intended audience is Windows users. BTW, the recent update seems to have fixed this. The anomaly I experienced was from the Mac Office version of Cambria font to Windows version of Word.
